Thread: Championship weekend for NASCAR

Tweet

Waiting for the truck race to start, should be a good one! Austin Dillon, Richard Childress' grandson is in a position to win it....If he doesn't give it away!

Going to be an interesting weekend, especially with Smoke and Cousin Carl only 3 points apart!!!!

Well, I'll admit to crossing my fngers and toes for Jack Rousch to get another champion in the stable! But, I actually hope that the Biff wins the race! One last chance! LOL..

Austin Dillon won the championship, but not the race. Seemed really strange to see the RCR #3 winning a championship again..... Richard Childress has a couple of very talented grandson race car drivers, think we might be hearing more about the two Dillon boys in the future.!!!!!

Well I hope the G'kids drive the car cleaner than the last "big-name" did! LOL..

Other then a couple of inexperience blunders this year, I thought Austin drove very well, aggressive but nothing stupid or crazy. Certainly nothing like the last pair of brothers who showed up in NASCAR!!

The Nationwide race isn't over yet, but Ricky Stenhouse has the championship locked up and Cousin Carl is looking strong to win the race!

Kaslowski won the race, Stenhouse second, and Edwards third---and a great finish with some excellent driving----and nobody banged on anybody!!!!!!

Sure was!!!! There's a whole bunch of these young kids in the Nationwide and truck series that have a lot of talent! It will sure be fun to watch them mature and move up to the Cup series!!! Many years ago my friend Lyle and I were in Pheonix for USAC races and watched this young California kid do some really first rate driving. Lyle told me after the kid won the USAC midget race, "That kid's good, we're going to see him win a lot more races!". Lyle still likes to remind me of this everytime we watch the kid, Tony Stewart, win another race!!!!!

During yesterdays race the announcers were discussing Sam Hornish. One of the announcers said he was talking with Roger Penske who admitted that he did Sam wrong by throwing him straight into the cup cars! Now that Sam is down in N'wide he's doing so much better and getting his confidence back. He's now learning all the tools that he'll need for the premier series!

Jack said yesterday too that they hope to find Stenhouse a ride in cup and go for another championship with Trevor Bayne in N'wide. Jack will be once again working through / with the Wood Bros. as he has NOTHING! He's even losing his championship winning crew chief unless someone steps up with some cash to fund a crew!

Looking forward to the race today.

The sponsorship thing is going to put a dent in some careers for a few years here and in drag racing I think. I saw the other day that Bernstein closed down his team too, so son Brandon is going to be hunting for a ride in a thinning field.

Money is tight for sure and it takes a bunch of it to run a NASCAR or NHRA pro team! Real shame about Bernstein shutting down, didn't think the CoPart deal would live too long. Even our expenses are getting to be a burden just racing locally, no way we could go back to running all over in our Division, let alone doing the national events....

Carl drove a really good race last night and starts on the Pole for the big race today. Smoke is a ways back, but he'll get up front in a hurry. Both of them want the championship and the race win, should be a good one!

Is KB just parking it and shopping for a deal or is he selling it too??.
